Meet Amelya and Lilly
Sisters Amelya and Lilly are proud Torres Strait Islander women descended from the Dauareb people of the Meriam nation, and the Saisarem people of Erub Island in the eastern islands of the Torres Strait.
Attending boarding school on AIEF Scholarships, the support was more than financial assistance; from the connections they were able to make, to the AIEF Career Sessions, both Amelya and Lilly agree that attending St Monica’s changed their lives.
